Recycling of Love
Beijing Longfu Festival 2019 China
Beijing NLGX Performing Arts Festival 2018 China
Recycling of Love was my first directorial work . Written by Lv Mo, this show received an enthusiastic response, with tickets selling out quickly at both the 9th Beijing NLGX Performing Arts Festival and its invited performance at the 2nd Beijing Longfu Theatre Festival.
Blending reality and memory, the story follows a man and a woman who meet one night by a garbage truck, each carrying an untold love story. Through the metaphor of recycling, the play unfolds as a bittersweet yet romantic urban fairy tale that deeply resonates with audiences.
The play delves into the commodification of emotions and relationships in today’s consumerist world, exploring how individuals grapple with the pressures of consumerism and modernity.
